Hugo Quinn applied the medicine for her and stood up, kissing her on the corner of her forehead. Eleanor Hollis reached out and hooked his neck, with a gentle smile in her eyes. "It’s getting late, let’s go to bed." He whispered quietly, slightly raising his eyebrows. Eleanor’s face instantly blushed, naturally understanding what this man meant. Marcus, sitting on the sofa nearby, expressed his inability to bear watching them, feeling that they were grown-ups always showing off their love. Hugo didn’t care what his son thought, he picked up Eleanor horizontally, and the two went straight upstairs. In the next half month, Eleanor lived in suspense, observing Hugo’s expressions every day, fearing he would really receive news from abroad and choose to hide it. On the twelfth day, Hugo’s phone rang. After the call, his face turned unsightly, rubbing his temples, he explained to the person on the other end, then turned to Eleanor. "Eleanor, there’s something wrong with the company abroad, I need to go there. Take good care of yourself and wait for my return." Eleanor’s heart jolted in an instant, it was exactly as the old man said, the foreign side was definitely ready with a trap waiting for this person. She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say, she could only nod. Hugo left by noon, as soon as he left, Eleanor drove immediately to the Dawson Family’s headquarters. The old man knew she would come, had already informed the guards at the gate in the morning. As soon as Eleanor arrived, she was directly taken inside. The old man leisurely took a sip of tea, a smile curled at his lips. "How have you thought about it?" "I’ll join the heir plan, but you must help Hugo, he’s in trouble, and if something happens who am I going to have children with?" The old man nodded, instructed the nearby butler a few things, then looked at Eleanor with a smile. "Alright, remember, only a year and a half. Your sister has long disliked your face, if she ends up as the head of the Dawson Family, your outcome won’t be good." Eleanor pursed her lips, she knew this since she left the Dawson Family, that Ashley Dawson had animosity towards her, and it wasn’t small. Knowing the Dawson Family would help Hugo, she breathed a sigh of relief, at least Hugo wouldn’t encounter any trouble there. As for the company, she believed he could handle it alone, just needing time. In the evening, she immediately called Hugo, reminding him a few things. "Nothing will happen, I’ll rush back." Hugo’s voice was gentle, constantly reassuring her. Eleanor completely relaxed, peacefully waiting at home for his return. Since knowing Eleanor’s difficulty with pregnancy, Ashley’s mood became very good, she investigated the men in Serenford’s upper society, finding many meeting her requirements.

"Miss, since your face is identical to Eleanor Hollis’s, why not directly replace her life? If you obtain Hugo Quinn’s seed, the old man would be even happier, and the old man hasn’t restricted the little tricks done in privacy among you, completely allowing you to fight for that position." As if awakened in an instant, Ashley’s eyes brightened. This person was right, with a man readily available in front of her, she could completely utilize him well. However, the old man has principles, before selecting the heir, neither can harm each other or delay the progress of having children, which would annoy him. Ashley’s lips curled as she looked at the face in the mirror. She already had a perfect plan, next she just needed to wait for Hugo’s return. Eleanor didn’t know another woman identical to her was waiting for Hugo’s return too. In the afternoon she wanted to go to Gloria Galloway’s place, to see how Gloria was getting along with Julian Sterling, whether Yvette Jacobs had caused any trouble. But just as she got in the car, someone sprang from behind, covering her mouth and nose. Eleanor’s pupils widened, through the rearview mirror she seemed to see Ashley’s face. Ashley looked at the fainted person, lightly wiped her fingers. Several guards quickly took Eleanor away, leaving Ashley in Eleanor’s car. Ashley curled her lips and took out a document. This was Eleanor’s friends circle, fortunately Eleanor didn’t have many friends, aside from people on Hugo’s side, there were only two she frequently interacted with. Before long, she memorized those few faces, along with each person’s home address. "Gloria Galloway and Julian Sterling live together..." Ashley muttered, immediately navigating, intending to first visit Gloria. If Gloria didn’t suspect, it would prove this plan succeeded. Half an hour later, she arrived at Gloria’s place. She already took Eleanor’s phone too, she looked down, found Gloria’s phone number, took a deep breath, making her facial expressions softer. The biggest difference between her and Eleanor was their temperament. Eleanor’s temperament leaned gentle, while hers was rather cold, probably due to their life environment. Gloria answered the call, quickly getting up from bed. Her body had marks everywhere, and these were not tender marks, recently Julian had been going crazy, unseen during the day, coming home at night going mad on her, his actions not gentle at all. She increasingly felt abandoned, always feeling now Julian had become a walking corpse. He would never like her, this man said so back then, it was her own disbelief. "Gloria, I’m at your doorstep, here to see you." Ashley tried to soften her tone. Gloria put on a turtleneck, wrapping herself tightly, if Eleanor saw those marks, she would definitely blame Julian, she really didn’t want them to become enemies because of her. "Okay, I’ll come open the door right away." Hanging up, she glanced at herself in the mirror, pulled her lips into a smile, and walked downstairs. Opening the door, she saw Eleanor standing outside, but today’s Eleanor gave her a strange feeling, yet couldn’t pinpoint what was strange. She turned her body, waiting for Eleanor to enter before shutting the door. "Gloria, how have you been lately?" Ashley sat on the sofa, immediately started asking questions with concern. Gloria nodded, her hands unconsciously clenching on her knees, it was always when she started lying. And Eleanor would mercilessly expose her lies. But today, the other party didn’t, seemingly already believing what she said. Gloria’s heart flashed a bit of unease.
